My Tattoo

Don't freak out, I don't have it yet.

But I am working on it. In Hebrew, Sarah is spelled 'Sin-Resh-Heh' and princess is spelled 'Peh-Resh-Yud-Nun-Samech-Samech'. Here's a website so you can see the letters for yourself. Now, since Hebrew is written right to left, obviously this will be the other way around when all is said and done. I am still debating which one I am going to get. The way I figure it, pain is pain, what's the difference between three characters and six? I might as well go for the whole show and get 'princess'. We'll see how much each will cost and go from there.

UPDATE:
I went to a couple places tonight and found some guys that I liked who didn't weird me out, and some guys who were kind of creepy so they won't be poking my skin with needles. We shall see, right now the only thing that stopped me from getting it tonight was the $$$. Also, I know I do need to think about it some more and really decide why I am doing it. I just feel like so many other people, or one person in particular, have been controlling what happens in my life, even though they're not really doing it on purpose. My hair was my first step, and partially, this tattoo is the next step away from that. But also, it is something I have wanted to do for a long time and I was trying to find something I could truly be happy with. Now that I have an idea, I am already planning my second - assuming the first one doesn't kill me, ha ha. I have decided for sure that I am going to go with 'princess' in Hebrew, I just have to choose a location - this will be the toughest part. I wanted it on the back side of my arm, kinda like Drake's letters for those of you who saw any of his tattoos. The only problem with this is I could never wear sleeveless shirts of any kind at work. LPS is hard enough to get into the way it is, I don't want a tattoo to be the only reason I don't get a job - and it would be the only reason, because I am that fucking awesome.

Ohmygosh. Stop teasing me! I demand to see a picture of your new do! Also, I am excited about this tatoo. How much would all this cost?

The guy I talked to last night at one of the places I really liked said it would probably cost between $80-$100, depending on how long it actually takes because some the details of the Hebrew letters could be kind of tricky. That quote is only good for then though, so I don't know, but he said it wouldn't be more than $100. Also, since purple is the color of royalty I was going to have it outlined in black and then filled in with purple. At first I wasn't going to even have it filled in, but he's like, if you don't, it's not going to look finished and you'll want to come back and have it done and the minimum base price is $50, so you'll end up spending more $$$ later on. I am so excited. The only problem is, at the place I am thinking of getting it done, absolutely no one is allowed in the back unless you're being tattooed or pierced, which means no one can come with me and hold my hand. On the other hand, it just means that this place actually cares about sterilization and germs, and that
s a plus. I really liked some of the guys I talked to last night and they were so muc more professional than some of the other places I have seen. This is their website: www.ironbrush.com. I talked to Kevin, who is actually the piercing guy, and Nate, who is a tattoo artist. They were very helpful, and I will probably go there, barring any major travesty.

I don't have any pictures of me with short hair yet, I am not very good at self-portraits and my camera is never around when I am with other people, so there is no one to take it yet. SOON!

Stop reading my blog.

I went back in Thursday night and talked to the guys again because I had a better print out of what I wanted, the first was a little too pixilated, so based on size, it will be about $100, and it won't be extra to get color instead of just black so that's a plus. You should come to Lincoln and we can BOTH get tattoos! It's not that expensive when you consider that it's going to last FOREVER.

As for 'anonymous', aren't you a little presumptuous, dear? You see, for me to stop reading your blog, I would have to know who you are. You assumed I would just know, even with the guise of 'anonymous' that you're lurking under. Thus, you would have to be important to me for me to know who you are, even though you're hiding under that title. Thus, obviously we can only deduct that you are not important enough for me to know who you actually even are. Have a superb day.
